Definition of the problems associated with air traffic control of closely spaced helicopter traffic performing instrument approaches
(Fort Monmouth, NJ : U.S. Army Avionics Research and Development Command ; [1980], 1980)
This study reviews the requirements for a modern, high performance all weather Air Traffic Management and Control System designed for U.S. Army airfields. A strawman ATM/C system is created to illustrate problems, and to ...
Terminal area flight path generation using parallel constraint propagation
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)
A Flight Path Generator is defined as the module of an automated Air Traffic Control system which plans aircraft trajectories in the terminal area with respect to operational constraints. The flight path plans have to be ...
Aircraft collision models
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)
Introduction: The threat of midair collisions is one of the most serious problems facing the air traffic control system and has been studied by many researchers. The gas model is one of the models which describe the expected ...
Decision support systems for automated terminal area air traffic control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)
This work studies the automation of the terminal area Air Traffic Management and Control (ATM/C) system. The ATM/C decision-making process is analyzed and broken down into a number of "automation functions". Each of these ...
A planning tool for predicting en route ATC conflicts and designing ATC sectors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)
The modernization of the Air Traffic Control system has led to a reevaluation of sector performance in order to design a safer and more efficient system for the future. There are, however, few available tools to aid in ...
Man Vehicle Systems Research Facility : functional specification of the ATC subsystem.
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
The ATC subsystem will be designed to realistically simulate the present and future air traffic control environments in which the cabs will fly their experiments.
Creating new operational concepts for global automated ATM systems
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
With the availability of new CNS technologies (Communications, Navigation and Guidance, Surveillance) as described by the ICAO FANS agreement and the potential of new tools for Automation at the ATC controller's console, ...
A simulation of aircraft motion on the airport surface
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
This paper describes the design and implementation of a real-time simulation of aircraft motion on the ground at airports. The aircraft Ground Motion Simulator (GMS) is designed to realistically simulate tower, ground, and ...
Concept development and evaluation of airborne traffic displays
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory [1971], 1971)
A system concept for a cockpit traffic situation display (TSD) was developed and a preliminary evaluation was undertaken to investigate the effect of a TSD on safety, efficiency, and capacity in the 3rd generation NAS/ARTS ...
ATCLAB : a laboratory environment for research in advanced ATC automation conceptual design
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
Introduction: A large number of ideas and schemes have been proposed and are constantly being suggested to enhance the Air Traffic Control system's safety, reliability, and efficiency by means of automation. The capability ...
